Such an excellent article where politics was intentionally and easily avoided followed up by the most presumptuous paranoid nonsense perfectly making the point of how fearful so many are of everything, but especially the other team.

How fragile a man must be if his whole sense of being is a motorcycle.

I guess it really does apply to Harley owners.

Some self-described Libertarians, and I bet Woody is one of them, just feel that self-ownership is the highest ideal.

Hey look, Amir’s an Egyption who probably just doesn’t know what’s best for him.  He needs a civilized person to guide him.  You know, to sort of lift him out of barbarism or whatever...

It is just that it can’t be mined if it is at difficult depths to reach because that is expensive, and the technology currently used isn’t up to it. Mining is also extremely…

“Also, what does the access to lithium look like? Much like gold there’s probably a lot we simply can’t get to from a practicality standpoint, much less an environmental standpoint.”

Nickel.

I’ve done that. Helmet, gloves, earplugs, unzipping the jacket. There’s a lot going on as soon as I hop off. It’s not crazy to walk off without it.

Oh I just genuinely forgot it. 

I had a written offer from Lexus to buy an IS off me, I’d taken my ad down but a guy who’d previously been interested rang me again. I was honest and said beat the price Lexus are offering by $50 and the car is yours.
